<p>How much does the fact that my dad went to Darden ( UVA Grad B-School), effect my chances of getting into UVA undergrad, and that I am a black male?</p>
<p>1-10 scale</p>
<p>1 being wont really have an effect at all
10 being have a strong effect maybe to the point your in for sure </p>
<p>and leave a brief statement about why you rated it that way </p>
<p>THANKS !!! =p</p>
<p>I LOVE UVA</p>
<ol>
<li>please have someone proofread for homonymns (effect/affect you’re/your) and other grammar to increase your chances</li>
<li>it depends if you are in state or out of state. being a legacy definitely helps, but it helps more if you are out of state percentage wise, though i still think the net effect is greater in state since it is already easier to get in in state, so having a boost has to make it even easier mathematically…</li>
<li>your race doesn’t matter re:legacy (ie. if you had your parent go it does not matter if you are black or white with respect to the parent going), but it will be a separate factor that may help you get into uva (AAs have a higher admit rate).</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for not simply ranking it, as I so clearly asked =D</p>
<p>Wowah hazel you told him :o. As a matter of fact, in preperation for studying for my ACT what is the difference between effect and affect? Is it that effect means something with time and affect means cause?</p>
<p>Effect/affect is double sided which is what makes it hard.
Typically you can assume that effect is a noun and affect is a verb.
But sometimes that is not true!!! See a dictionary definition for that (very rarely used in those senses, like a person’s affect=disposition), there’s a good example of both used as verbs at footnote one here: [affect</a> - definition of affect by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.](<a href=“Affect]affect - definition of affect]affect by The Free Dictionary”>Affect - definition of affect by The Free Dictionary)</p>
<p>I made an alliterative trick for myself for the typical uses of each.</p>
<p>Affect (verb) - think ‘Action’
Effect (noun) - think ‘End Result’</p>
